Synopsis: Apologize for a little longer video today, we just have a lot going in that we wanted to keep you guys updated on. We still have a complex system moving through the Midwest this weekend, please if you have any questions at all gives us a text or call and we can narrow down the details better for you. We will be battling a lot of dry air initially through the morning and early afternoon hours today, so don’t be surprised if the radar shows activity…it will likely not be hitting the ground (called virga). Freezing rain/sleet will be an issue overnight to early Saturday morning especially across central Illinois, so if you have any zero tolerance lots these need to be monitored closely. We talk about accumulating snow across eastern Iowa as well as northern Illinois tonight into Saturday as well. Backside arctic air Saturday night into Sunday will bring a serious concern for flash freezing similar to what we saw this past Tuesday…so continue to monitor your lots and shoot us your questions if you have any. Multiple disturbances that have “wintry” potential are showing up next week including one near Christmas, more details in the video! Have a fantastic weekend, we will update as necessary.

Current radar…flurries possible near the Missouri/Illinois border early this morning:

All the details on timing are in the video, but here’s a brief glance at simulated radar. We will be battling freezing rain/sleet across central portions of Illinois tonight into tomorrow as well as accumulating snow across eastern Iowa to northern Illinois.
